Braydon's stapled head....

okay so the kids had a great visit with family last week and Warren and I had a well deserved break, but of course we missed the kids like crazy, so we decided we would take off from work on Wednesday to do something fun with the kids during the week which they aren't use to since Mommy and daddy both work but we picked all of the boys up from their visit and headed to Aunt Brenda's to swim, the day started out great, mom came over to swim, Aunt Brenda was home and Jaylen was there to swim with Tristan, everyone was having a blast but soon it would all end with a trip to the er...oh no yes the big boys were doing back flips off the diving board and Braydon thought he could manage it too, but as we all motionless and speechlessly looked on we saw the disaster unfold in front of us, we couldn't even say anything it was to late, he gets to the edge and perfectly manages a back flip but as he came down his head hit the diving board, I could barely look on as Warren ran to get him out of the water, all I could see was blood and I freaked out, ran inside through my clothes on told the boys to get out and we headed to the er in Shelby, everyone else was convinced he was fine just a minor cut but when he threw up I knew we had to get there fast, as we signed in Warren and the other boys waited in the truck, they got us back pretty fast and the doctor came in to see us, he examined his head and off the top said he would have to have staples to close the wound, he wanted to watch him close for several hours to make sure a cat scan wasn't in order since they do not like to preform them on three year olds unless it is life threatening, Warren and the boys went on home while Braydon and I waited, for the doctors decision, they finally came in and said they believed everything was fine and it was time to staple him...I was freaking out at first but it wasn't as bad as I had pictured, the nurse came in and numbed his head, I tried to keep him occupied while the did the rest, we said our numbers and sung our ABC's before we knew it, it was all over with and he didn't even realize it, so Warren was there to get us after having a neighbor sit with the other boys and we were headed home with 2 staples in the top of Braydon's head..don't worry he is back to his old self and the staples come out in 10 days, but to close I have always had the fear of someone hitting their head on that diving board and after about 10 years my theory was proven true, so my kids will not be enjoying that feature of the pool anymore...end of discussion!! lol

Summer Time Fun....

Summer is finally here...yah, and Although I love the Summer I hate the heat crazy huh, but anyway it has really been hot but also really rainy, I know I haven't blogged since our weekend getaway to Alabama Adventure but we really haven't been up to anything exciting and I have been really busy with the kids, but I am going to try and update you on the little activity we have had going on around here. Of course you all know School is out so Tristan is home all day, he has really been bored and he is already saying its to hot to play outside, Mom has took the boys swimming and camping so they are having some fun, Tristan has school friends that live close by so he plays outside alot with them, the little boys play outside alot also, Mom takes them to the park a few times a week and I try and get outside with them in the afternoons and weekends. Memorial Day we grilled out and let the kids play in the sprinklers, My best friend Tiffany met one afternoon last week and took all the kids swimming, we have grilled out several times and we bought the kids a "kiddy" pool as Tristan says and we bought the big kids a slippin slide, the kids have really enjoyed them. Warren and I switched cell phone service from Nextel to Sprint, we got really cool new phones, I got a cute little pink blackberry and Warren got a touch screen, so now we are all into texting and its been fun catching up on technology..lol,we also have the same phone number just no two way, I also got a recliner..oh yeah I ask for one for my birthday that is coming up in July but I ran across a really good deal on the perfect recliner that matching and was a really good price so I bought it for myself lol and I love it, I have always wanted one and I have been really enjoying it. We are also planning a trip back to Alabama Adventure June 26 if anyone would like to go, We are also trying to plan a beach trip sometime this summer, if anyone knows a great place at a reasonable price let me know, well thats about all we have been up to lately hope everyone has a great weekend, love you all!
